I have completed a search of birth, death, cemetery, estate, will and probate records in Ross County. The only relevant items I found are as follows:

1. County Birth Record Index )1867-1907)...James Levi Smith b. 16 Sep 1880 in Colerain Twsp. to William Smith and Met McCrery

2. County Birth Record Index )1867-1907)...Voda Smith (male) b. 5 Jun 1883 in Colerain Twsp. to William Smith and and Actien McClera

3. County Death Index...Shannon Smith age 20 d. 24 Apr 1892 in the County Infirmary from Consumption

4. County Marriage Records... William Smith married Naca McQuery on 16 Jun 1867

By the way, I neglected to mention that the Civil War soldier was 65 years old
